Play Groups
Play groups are informal, drop-in gatherings where young children play side by side while parents and caregivers connect with one another. They’re a great way to meet other families in your neighborhood.
Enjoy free play, storytime, movement or crafts, and time to connect with other families. Have questions about your child’s development or need additional support? Kat is there to chat, answer questions, and help connect you with resources.

Our Library Partnership
Our weekly playgroups are made possible through a community grant partnership with the Public Library of Brookline, who generously hosts our Tuesday and Thursday sessions at their Brookline Village and Coolidge Corner branches. We’re grateful for their continued support in creating welcoming spaces for Brookline families to connect.
Have questions about a playgroup, or want to confirm a session before you go? Contact Kathleen Jones via our contact page and she’ll be happy to help.
